第二部分：阅读理解（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项 A Some people say that the best way to reduce the size of your waist is to do stomach exercise. Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissues (组织) in the immediate area are burned up. The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waist too. Some people believe that you need to exercise twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. However, studies directed by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. Within 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish ( 重建 ) the good physical effects. And what does that mean to you? American scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful, exercising every other day or three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.2

Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance? The answer is no. The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run the mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter. Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories. If your breathing doesn’t return to normal within 5 minutes after you finish exercising, you have exercised too much. Five minutes or so after exercising, your breathing should be normal, your heart shouldn’t be beating loudly, and you shouldn’t be tired. 21. If you want to reduce the fat around your waist, you should ____. A. do stomach exercise B. exercise the waist C. exercise all the muscles of your body D. run fast for 30 minutes 22. From the second paragraph, we learn that ____. A. we only need to exercise twice a week B. we should exercise three times a week C. muscles lose their strength after 48 hours D. we should exercise every other day, or three days a week 23. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _________ . A. you will lose more weight running one hour than walking one hour B. whether you run one mile or walk the same distance, you use the same amount of energy C. you will lose more weight running one mile than walking the same distance D. both A and B 24. If you have exercised too much, _______. A. your breathing will take longer than 5 minutes to return to normal after you finish exercising B. your breathing will return to normal within 5 minutes after finishing exercising C. your heart will not be beating loudly D. you will be too tired to move 25. This passage tells us that _________. A. it is better to do more running than walking B. the more exercise you do, the healthier you will be C. the unexercised muscles must be used again within 48 to 72 hours D. in order to lose weight, you have to run fast B While IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tells you how smart you are. EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well you use your smartness. Professor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted. Supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future successes, a person’s brainpower, as measured by IQ tests, mi ght actually matter less than a person’s character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ. People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life. For a long time, researchers discussed if a person’s IQ could be raised. The geneticists said no, while the social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it3

was possible to improve a person’s EQ, particularly in terms of “people skills”, such as understanding and communication. Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students’ attitudes. They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their thinking. Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful. 26. According to Professor Salovery, what factor matters the most in predicting whether a person will be successful or not? A. How a person tests his / her brainpower. B. A person’s character. C. How smart a person is. D. A person’s IQ. 27. The second paragraph tells us that . A. people who have a high IQ always have a high EQ B. EQ is the opposite of IQ C. people who have a low EQ tend to have a hard life D. people who have a high EQ always have a high IQ 28. What did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to some disabled children? A. Students with disabilities were not open in trying new things. B. There was no change in the normal students. C. The disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new things. D. The disabled students were more willing to help others. 29. Which of the following is the writer’s attitude toward EQ and IQ? A. IQ is more helpful to people than EQ. B. IQ can be raised by understanding and communication. C. EQ can get people hired. D. A high EQ is of great benefit in getting people promoted. 30. Which of the following would be the best title of this passage? A. A person’s brainpower. B. IQ, EQ and success. C. IQ and a person’s character. D. A person’s IQ and EQ. C Although some people don't like using automatic hand dryers in restrooms, it may actually be argued that motion-sensing hand dryers are a practical alternative to paper towels. More and more businesses are using automatic hand dryers in their restrooms today. I believe that our school would benefit from investing in automatic hand dryers in all the restrooms. First of all, the automatic hand dryer is very sanitary（卫生的）. Instead of pulling on a lever (手柄) that has been touched by a large number of students, users can just stick their hands under the air dryer. No germs can get on them because there is nothing to tou ch. Kids wouldn't get sick from the paper towel dispensers (纸巾盒) we now use at our sc hool. This would keep kids' hands germ-free. In addition, if the school buys automatic hand dryers, we can save money that can be spent on more important things. I have noticed that there is a terrible waste of paper towels in the restrooms. Students continuously pull on the lever, dispensing towels that they do not really4

need. It is annoying to find the dispenser empty. An automatic hand dryer costs about $500, with very little additional cost over time. On the other hand, paper towels can cost $25 a case, or about $500 a year, since we use about 20 cases each year. After just one year, it would pay for itself. If we installed（安装） automatic hand dryers, we would not waste paper towels, and it would save the school a ton of money. Finally, our bathroom is a paper towel mess! There are always piles of paper towels on the floor. Sometimes the extras fall from the dispenser unused. Many times kids make their used towel into a ball and aim for a basket. But if they miss the target, the paper ball stays on the floor. Paper towels leave so much litter in the restrooms that the restrooms are a mess -- even before the end of the day! Some people think that automatic hand dryers don't dry their hands as thoroughly as paper towels. People stand in front of the hand dryers for just a few seconds, and they are disappointed that their hands do not feel dry. However, studies have shown that when people dry their hands for at least 30 seconds, automatic dryers actually dry much better than paper towels. It is difficult to get every part of your hand dry using paper towels. The air makes sure that your hands are completely dry ... if you take a few extra seconds. Keeping kids healthy, saving money, and helping our school stay clean are strong reasons for installing automatic hand dryers. Every day that goes by without having them means that we are continuing to have problems in our restrooms because we are using paper towels. Let's install automatic hand dryers as soon as possible! 31 .The automatic hand dryers are more sanitary in that_____________. A. they can kill germs B. they keep kids' hands free of germs C. they cannot be reached by kids D. they will clean themselves automatically 32. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. Schools should spend more money on important things. B. Both automatic hand dryers and paper towels cost a lot. C. Automatic hand dryers are more economical than paper towels. D. Schools can make use of automatic hand dryers to make money. 33. The author seems to believe that ____________. A. the paper towel is the main reason for the bathroom mess B. someone should be put in charge of the bathroom cleaning C. it is a good idea not to allow kids to use paper towels D. paper towels should be offered at a fixed time 34. Sometimes hand dryers don’t dry our hands completely probably because___________. A. the dryer goes wrong B. the dryer is in sleep mode C. we don’t know the operation of the dryer D. we do not continue drying long enough 35. The main purpose of the text is to ____________. A. discuss the benefits of a new product B. protect kids from getting sick in school C. persuade the school to install automatic hand dryers D. call on people to pay more attention to the environment 第三部分 语言知识运用 （共两节，满分 50 分） 第一节：完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） Wh en I came to my new school three years ago, I was surprised at how lonely I felt.

参考范文： Humans Are Cleverer With the development of modern science and technology，robots have been invented and have played an important part in modern society. Robots can do many k inds of work for human beings. In many fields robots can be used to do those hard, difficult and dangerous work instead of humans. Are robots cleverer than humans? No, because they are designed, made and controlled by humans. Once, a man was playing cards with a robot. He was defeated in the first three runs. He was very angry and then he had an idea. A fter he changed the programs of the robot, he began to play cards with the robot again. This time the robot was beaten. The man won by three points. From this story we can see that humans are cleverer than robots.
